The evolutionary process of brain changes during adolescence makes people vulnerable to self-harm. Therefore, identifying predictors of self-injury in adolescents with borderline personality disorder is of particular importance; therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the causal model of self-injury in adolescent girls with borderline personality traits based on self-compassion with the role of mediator of family functioning.

In terms of data collection method, the current research method is a descriptive correlation type, which was implemented with the structural equation model technique. The statistical population of this research included all adolescent girls between the ages of 14 and 18 in Hamedan province in 1400-1401, and 350 people were selected from among the mentioned statistical population using available sampling method. The tools used in this research are: Schizotypal Trait questionnaire-B form, Self-Harm Inventory (SHI), Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and Family Assessment Device. Finally, after collecting the data, the method of correlational research and structural equation model was used using SPSS26 and AMOS24 software. Also, bootstrap method was used in MACRO program to analyze mediating relationships.

The findings of the present study showed that the coefficient of self-compassion has a direct and negative effect on self-injury behavior in adolescent girls with borderline personality traits (P<0.001). Also, self-compassion through family functioning has an indirect effect on self-injury behavior (P<0.001).

Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be said that the variable of family functioning can strengthen the relationship between self-pity and self-injury in teenagers with borderline personality disorder.

One of the dangerous unhealthy behaviors that are more common during adolescence compared with other periods of life is the self-injury behavior. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on self-concealment, self-compassion and self-injurious behaviors of female students. The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of the research was the female high school students in Bandar Turkmen, Iran, during the school years 2022-2023, when 30 students were included by cluster sampling and randomly placed in 2 experimental and control groups (n=15 for each group). The experimental group received dialectical behavior therapy while the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. The research tools included Larson and Justin's self-disclosure questionnaires, Neff's self-compassion, and Klonsky and Glenn's list of self-injury behaviors and functions. The results of the research showed that dialectical behavior therapy was effective on self-concealment, self-compassion and self-injury behaviors of female students (P<0.05). The results indicated that, with a receptive and non-judgmental state of mind and empathy, the dialectical behavior therapy led to the reduction of self-concealment, self-injurious behaviors and enhanced self-compassion in female students.

Non-suicidal self-injury is a prevalent behavior among individuals. While various factors, including family dynamics, are associated with this behavior, there has been limited focus on the mediating factors in this relationship. This study aims to explore the mediating role of anger rumination in the connection between family functioning and non-suicidal self-injury.

This research is fundamental, cross-sectional, and descriptive-correlational in nature. The study population consisted of students from the Islamic Azad University, Neyshabur branch, in 2023. A sample of two hundred fifty-two students was selected through a cluster sampling method. Participants completed the short version of the Family Assessment Device (FAD-SF), the Anger Rumination Scale (ARS), and the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling methods.

The findings indicated that family functioning has a significant direct effect(P< 0.05) on non-suicidal self-injury. Additionally, the indirect effect of family functioning on non-suicidal self-injury, mediated by anger rumination, was also significant (P< 0.05). The model demonstrated a good fit, with the following indices: CFI = 0.98, NNFI = 0.98, IFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.95, and RMSEA = 0.057.

The results indicated that anger rumination indirectly contributes to the impact of poor family functioning on non-suicidal self-injury. It is important to recognize these psychological factors within the context of psychopathology and to develop prevention and intervention programs targeting them, as this could be beneficial.

Self-injury in teenagers refers to intentional self-injurious behavior that lacks any predetermined external motivation or intention and brings psychological and physical health costs in the field of health and health for human societies. This research was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of two group therapies compassion-focused therapy and positive- orientated on empathy and happiness in adolescent girls with a background of self-injury.

The current research was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the research included all female students studying in the second secondary level of the 4th district of Tehran in the academic year 2020-2021, of which there were 45 students who met the criteria for entering the study, were selected and randomly assigned in three groups (two experimental groups and one control group). The data was collected by the demographic information checklist, empathy, and sympathy questionnaire in teenagers (ESQR) by Vossen et al. (2015), the Oxford happiness questionnaire by Hills and Argyle (2002). The data were analyzed through Multiple Analyses of Variance and Ben Feroni's post hoc test and with SPSS-26 statistical software.

The results indicated that in the post-test phase, there is a statistically significant difference between the average score of happiness and empathy in the three groups (P<0.05). Also, the results of Ben Feroni's post hoc test showed that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two-treatment methods compassion-Focused therapy, and positive treatment on empathy (P>0.05). However, the positive approach compared to the treatment compassion-focused therapy had a greater effect on increasing the feeling of happiness (P<0.05).

The findings revealed that psychological interventions such as compassion-focused therapy and positive-oriented therapy can lead to increased empathy and happiness in adolescent girls with a history of self-injury. However, the positive treatment led to a greater sense of happiness in adolescents due to challenging hopelessness and negative thoughts and creating hope. The use of psychological interventions as a group in schools and educational centers can help these teenagers to be seen, reduce their worries  ,and ultimately their psychological well-being.

Husband's infidelity is a factor that undermines the well-being of many women. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of spiritual-self schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy based on attachment injuries on depression and self-injury behavior of women injured by their husband's infidelity.

This research was a semi-experimental study with a pretest, posttest and two months follow up design with a control group. The statistical population included all women hurted by their husband's infidelity referred to psychological counseling centers in Bandarabbas in spring 2021, forty-eight of them were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group, sixteen persons for each. Beck's depression inventory (BDI-II) and self-injury behavior questionnaire were used to collect data. Spiritual-self schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy based on attachment injuries were performed in the two experimental groups in ten sessions of ninety minutes per week. For data analysis, a mixed design with repeated measures analysis of variances was performed by SPSS26.

The results showed that the interaction between group and time elements on depression was significant.(P<0.01) In the sense that, spirituality based schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy based on attachment injuries significantly decreased depression in the experimental groups. Also, results indicated that there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of spiritual-self schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy based on attachment injuries in decreasing self-injury behavior.(P>0.05) 

The spiritual-self schema therapy and emotion-focused therapy based on attachment injuries are effective for decreasing depression in women injured by husband's infidelity; and both can be used to help hurted by husband's infidelity's women .

The epidemiology of adolescent self-harming behaviors is important. One of the common concerns today is the prevalence and persistence of self-injurious behaviors among adolescents.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and functions of self-harming behaviors in adolescents.

The present study was a descriptive study. The statistical population of the study was all adolescents aged 15-18 in Sanandaj in the years 2018-2019. Sampling method was Cluster. Using the Klonsky and Glenn Self-Injurious Behaviors and Functions Scale, 1334 subjects (686 girls and 648 boys) were selected. Using Chi-square and Independent T-test statistical method, using SPSS software version 25.

The results showed that the prevalence rate of self-injurious behaviors among girls and boys was 9.6% and 7.1%. Girls self-injurious behaviors were more invisible (Χ2=6.37, P<0.009) and irregular (Χ2=14.36, P<0.001) than boys. The highest frequency of self-injurious behaviors included: self-inflicted cutting, hitting and annoying self-talk. Also, the function of girls and boys self-injurious behaviors was intrapersonal and interpersonal (T=2.18, P<0.05).

The results of this study showed that the adolescent girls had more self-injurious behaviors than boys. And the prevalence of self-injurious behaviors in adolescents is increasing, which should be taken into account.

Soldiering is a stressful period in which there is a possibility of self-harm, so it is necessary to consider ways to reduce it. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of resiliency training in reducing stress and self-injury and increasing the resiliency of soldiers.

This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group waiting for treatment in 2018. The statistical population consisted of 20 soldiers referred to the 505 Army Hospital in Tehran who were selected by convenience sampling and were assigned into two groups of 10 (experimental and control). The experimental group received resilience training in 10 sessions of 90 minutes, while the control group received no intervention. The instruments used in this study were Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSS), Clonensky Self-Reporting Inventory and Conner Resilience Questionnaire (ISAS) and Davidson (CD-RIS). Multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS software version 24 were used for data analysis.

The mean age of the soldiers in the experimental and control groups was 20.6±2.3 and 20.4±1.5 years, respectively, and the mean length of military service was 5.3±2.5 and 7.7±4.1 months, respectively. Resiliency training program significantly reduced stress (98%) and self-injury (91%) in soldiers in the intervention group and significantly increased resilience (98%) (p <0.01).

Resiliency training seems to be effective in improving stress and self-harm syndrome and resilience in soldiers and it can be used in garrison settings.

Due to the pressures and tensions between adolescence, self-injury may be done with the aim of reducing the negative tensions and emotions. Based on the emotional regulation model, the most important motivation in this behavior can be related to the regulation of unpleasant emotions. The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on self-esteem, cognitive emotion regulation, and non-suicidal self-injury behavior in Pardis secondary school girls. For this purpose, in this quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and control group, 30 students from the junior high school girl students of Pardis City, who had performed at least once a non-suicidal self-injury behavior, were selected by access sampling and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received dialectical behavior therapy in 10 sessions. The groups were tested before and after the intervention in terms of self-esteem, cognitive emotion regulation, self-injury behaviour’s and functions. The results of covariance analysis showed dialectical behavior therapy in reducing self-injury behavior, increasing self-esteem and reducing catastrophe in the experimental group compared to the control group. According to the results, dialectical behavior therapy could improve self-esteem, emotion regulation and reduce self-injury behaviour’s in adolescent girls.

Today, self-injury behavior has a significant outbreak among adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) on self-esteem, cognitive emotion regulation, and non-suicidal self-injury behavior.

This study was semi-experimental research. The statistical population consisted of 45 students studying in junior high school in Pardis city (2017-2018). They were committed non-suicidal self-injury behavior at least for once. Using random access sampling method, the sample divided into two experimental groups and a control group (n1 = n2 = n3 = 15). The research tools included Eysenck’s self-esteem questionnaire (1976),  Garnefski and Kraaij’s cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (2006), and Klonowski and Glenn’s self-injurious behaviors and functions (2009). Experimental groups were under the dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused (brief) therapy. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

There was a significant difference between the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy with solution-focused brief therapy on reducing self-injury behavior (p <0/001) and cognitive emotion regulation (p<0/05). There wasn’t any significant difference in self-esteem variable. The mean scores of self- injury behavior for the dialectical behavior therapy group in post-test was significantly lower than the mean scores of the solution-focused brief therapy group and the control group. The mean of the dialectical behavior therapy group after a positive reappraisal was significantly higher than the mean of the control group.

The method of dialectical behavior therapy compared to Solution-focused therapy has a greater impact on increasing the positive reappraisal subscale in cognitive emotion regulation and decreasing self-injury behavior.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) on emotion regulation, positive and negative affection, aggressive behavior and self-harm in female students. The research method was experimental with pretest-post-test design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the study included all 13- to 16-year-old female students from the first level high schools in Karaj city in 2017. Among the study population, using the purposeful sampling method, based on the positive and negative affects questionnaire, Buss & Perry, self-injury inventory questionnaire and the emotional adjustment questionnaire Gross at the forefront, 30 people who had entry criteria formed our statistical sample. The 30 subjects were chosen completely in 2 groups of 15 subjects (experimental and control groups). The experimental group received DBT, while the control group was on the waiting list and did not receive any treatment. To analyze the data, multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) was used to accelerate the results of the SPSS-21 software. The findings revealed that after being treated by DBT in the experimental group, post-test scores increased significantly in emotion regulation and positive affect variables of the experimental group (P<0.001) compared to the control group (respectively from 30.43 and 30.93 in the control group to 46.27 and 32.80 in the experimental group). Post-test scores also decreased significantly in negative affect, aggressive behavior and self-injury variables after being treated by DBT (P <0.001) (from 29.32, 100.66 and 29.14, respectively, in the control group to 13.19 and 74.43 and 21.33 in the experimental group). According to the findings of this study, DBT is effective in reducing negative affect, aggressive and self-injury behavior and increasing emotion regulation and positive affect.

According to the importance of mental health among soldiers, this study focused on association of mental health and addiction and/or self-injury.
This study was performed on a group of new recruit army soldiers in the south of Iran in 2015. The subjects were physically examined, interview and asked to answer general health questionnaire. History of addiction and evidence and history of self-injury were noted and data analyzed using student t-test and ANOVA.
General health was not different between addicted and not addicted subjects, but depression score was higher for addiction group. Self-injury group had higher scores of general mental health and four subgroups, significantly. Addiction and self-injury, together subjects had significant higher depression scores
Previous self-injury is associated with broader impairment of mental health. Previous Addiction is mainly interact with mood status.
